ANSI C只是一个定义,定义了一个借口与标准,具体实现将是不同的。
刚看到I/O的时候就对于Stream非常的迷惑,这是什么玩意。后面才明白,这只是一个抽象出来的概念而已。对于一个Stream,它具有一切我们操控一个文件所需要的所有信息,我们只需要操控流,其他事情就交给内核或操作系统去完成就OK了。
在Linux中,对于FILE结构有完整的定义,位于/usr/include/libio.h 下
struct _IO_FILE {
int _flags; /* High-order word is _IO_MAGIC; rest is flags. */
#define _IO_file_flags _flags /* The following pointers correspond to the C++ streambuf protocol. */
/* Note: Tk uses the _IO_read_ptr and _IO_read_end fields directly. */
char* _IO_read_ptr; /* Current read pointer */
char* _IO_read_end; /* End of get area. */
char* _IO_read_base; /* Start of putback+get area. */
char* _IO_write_base; /* Start of put area. */
char* _IO_write_ptr; /* Current put pointer. */
char* _IO_write_end; /* End of put area. */
char* _IO_buf_base; /* Start of reserve area. */
char* _IO_buf_end; /* End of reserve area. */
/* The following fields are used to support backing up and undo. */
char *_IO_save_base; /* Pointer to start of non-current get area. */
char *_IO_backup_base; /* Pointer to first valid character of backup area */
char *_IO_save_end; /* Pointer to end of non-current get area. */ struct _IO_marker *_markers; struct _IO_FILE *_chain; int _fileno;
#if 0
int _blksize;
#else
int _flags2;
#endif
_IO_off_t _old_offset; /* This used to be _offset but it's too small. */ #define __HAVE_COLUMN /* temporary */
/* 1+column number of pbase(); 0 is unknown. */
unsigned short _cur_column;
signed char _vtable_offset;
char _shortbuf[1]; /* char* _save_gptr; char* _save_egptr; */ _IO_lock_t *_lock;
#ifdef _IO_USE_OLD_IO_FILE
};
看了这才完整的明白 -这个流是什么东西。
